Transceiver Modules Save Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) money and time!
All RFM OEM modules come with FCC and ETSI module certification. No FCC or ETSI-type acceptance testing required.
Each RFM transceiver module is treated just like other integrated circuits, with reflow soldering to the host PCBs so there
is no need for expensive and unreliable connectors.
Small size, there is no size penalty associated with the convenience of a module.
